Potassium channels are virtually ubiquitous membrane proteins which are involved in a large number of different physiological processes. This also includes the regulation of the membrane potential and the electric excitability of neurons and muscle cells. Potassium channels are divided into three major groups which differ in the number of transmembrane domains (2, 4 or 6). The group of potassium channels where two pore-forming domains are flanked by four transmembrane domains is referred to as K2P channels. Functionally, the K2P channels mediate, substantially time- and voltage-independently, K⁺ background currents, and their contribution to the maintenance of the resting membrane potential is crucial. The family of the K2P channels includes 15 members which are divided into six subfamilies, based on similarities in sequence, structure and function: TWIK, TREK, TASK, TALK, THIK and TRESK.

Of particular interest are TASK-1 (KCNK3 or K2P3.1) and TASK-3 (KCNK9 or K2P9.1) of the TASK (TWIK-related acid-sensitive K⁺ channel) subfamily. Functionally, these channels are characterized in that, during maintenance of voltage-independent kinetics, they have “leak” or “background” streams flowing through them, and they respond to numerous physiological and pathological influences by increasing or decreasing their activity. A characteristic feature of TASK channels is the sensitive reaction to a change of the extracellular pH: at acidic pH the channels are inhibited, and at alkaline pH they are activated.

TASK-1 is expressed mainly in the central nervous system and in the cardiovascular system. Relevant expression of TASK-1 was demonstrated in the brain, in spinal ganglia, in motoneurons of the Nervus hypoglossus and Nervus trigeminus, in the heart, Glomus caroticum, the pulmonary artery, aorta, lung, pancreas, placenta, uterus, kidney, adrenal gland, small intestine and stomach, and also on T lymphocytes. TASK-3 is expressed mainly in the central nervous system. Relevant expression of TASK-3 was demonstrated in the brain, in motoneurons of the Nervus hypoglossus and Nervus trigeminus and in neuroepithelial cells of the Glomus caroticum and the lung, and also on T lymphocytes. A lower expression is found in the heart, stomach, testicular tissue and adrenal gland.

TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels play a role in respiratory regulation. Both channels are expressed in the respiratory neurons of the respiratory centre in the brain stem, inter alia in neurons which generate the respiratory rhythm (ventral respiratory group with pre-Botzinger complex), and in the noradrenergic Locus caeruleus, and also in serotonergic neurons of the raphe nuclei. Owing to the pH dependency, here the TASK channels have the function of a sensor which translates changes in extracellular pH into corresponding cellular signals [Bayliss et al., Pflugers Arch. 467, 917-929 (2015)]. TASK-1 and TASK-3 are also expressed in the Glomus caroticum, a peripheral chemoreceptor which measures pH, O₂ and CO₂ content of the blood and transmits signals to the respiratory centre in the brain stem to regulate respiration. It was shown that TASK-1 knock-out mice have a reduced ventilatory response (increase of respiratory rate and tidal volume) to hypoxia and normoxic hypercapnia [Trapp et al., J. Neurosci. 28, 8844-8850 (2008)]. Furthermore, TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels were demonstrated in motoneurons of the Nervus hypoglossus, the XIIth cranial nerve, which has an important role in keeping the upper airways open [Berg et al., J. Neurosci. 24, 6693-6702 (2004)].

In a sleep apnoea model in the anaesthetized pig, intranasal administration of a potassium channel blocker which blocks the TASK-1 channel in the nanomolar range led to inhibition of collapsibility of the pharyngeal respiratory musculature and sensitization of the negative pressure reflex of the upper airways. It is assumed that intranasal administration of the potassium channel blocker depolarizes mechanoreceptors in the upper airways and, via activation of the negative pressure reflex, leads to increased activity of the musculature of the upper airways, thus stabilizing the upper airways and preventing collapse. By virtue of this stabilization of the upper airways, the TASK channel blockade may be of great importance for obstructive sleep apnoea and also for snoring [Wirth et al., Sleep 36, 699-708 (2013); Kiper et al., Pflugers Arch. 467, 1081-1090 (2015)].

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleep-related respiratory disorder which is characterized by repeat episodes of obstruction of the upper airways. When breathing in, the patency of the upper airways is ensured by the interaction of two opposite forces. The dilative effects of the musculature of the upper airways counteract the negative intraluminal pressure, which constricts the lumen. The active contraction of the diaphragm and the other auxiliary respiratory muscles generates a negative pressure in the airways, thus constituting the driving force for breathing. The stability of the upper respiratory tract is substantially determined by the coordination and contraction property of the dilating muscles of the upper airways.

The Musculus genioglossus plays a decisive role in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnoea. The activity of the Musculus genioglossus increases with decreasing pressure in the pharynx in the sense of a dilative compensation mechanism. Innervated by the Nervus hypoglossus, it drives the tongue forward and downward, thus widening the pharyngeal airway [Verse et al., Somnologie 3, 14-20 (1999)]. Tensioning of the dilating muscles of the upper airways is modulated inter alia via mechanoreceptors/stretch receptors in the nasal cavity/pharynx [Bouillette et al., J. Appl. Physiol. Respir. Environ. Exerc. Physiol. 46, 772-779 (1979)]. In sleeping patients suffering from serious sleep apnoea, under local anaesthesia an additional reduction of the activity of the Musculus genioglossus can be observed [Berry et al., Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 156, 127-132 (1997)]. Patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea have high mortality and morbidity as a result of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, myocardial infarction and stroke [Vrints et al., Acta Clin. Belg. 68, 169-178 (2013)].

In the case of central sleep apnoea, owing to impaired brain function and impaired respiratory regulation there are episodic inhibitions of the respiratory drive. Central respiratory disorders result in mechanical respiratory arrests, i.e. during these episodes there is no breathing activity; temporarily, all respiratory muscles including the diaphragm are at rest. In the case of central sleep apnoea, there is no obstruction of the upper airways.

In the case of primary snoring, there is likewise no obstruction of the upper airways. However, owing to the constriction of the upper airways, the flow rate of the air that is inhaled and exhaled increases. This, combined with the relaxed musculature, causes the soft tissues of the oral cavity and the pharynx to flutter in the stream of air. This gentle vibration then generates the typical snoring noises.

Obstructive snoring (upper airway resistance syndrome, heavy snoring, hypopnoea syndrome) is caused by repeat partial obstruction of the upper airways during sleep. This results in an increased respiratory resistance and thus in an increase in work of breathing with considerable fluctuations in intrathoracic pressure. During inspiration, the negative intrathoracic pressure may reach values similar to those that are encountered as a result of complete airway obstruction during obstructive sleep apnoea. The pathophysiological consequences for heart, circulation and sleep quality correspond to those of obstructive sleep apnoea. As in obstructive sleep apnoea, the pathogenesis is assumed to be an impaired reflex mechanism of the pharynx-dilating muscles during inspiration when sleeping. Frequently, obstructive snoring is the preliminary stage of obstructive sleep apnoea [Hollandt et al., HNO 48, 628-634 (2000)].

In addition, TASK channels also appear to play a role in the apoptosis of neurons. In the animal model of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-induced autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis, TASK-1 knock-out mice showed reduced neuronal degeneration. By preventing neuronal apoptosis, inhibition of TASK channels appears to act neuroprotectively, and may thus be of interest for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders [Bittner et al., Brain 132, 2501-2516 (2009)].

Furthermore, it has been described that T lymphocytes express TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels and that inhibition of these channels leads to reduced cytokine production and proliferation after stimulation of T lymphocytes. The selective inhibition of TASK channels on T lymphocytes improved the course of the disease in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. The blockade of TASK channels may therefore also be of importance for treatment of autoimmune disorders [Meuth et al., J. Biol. Chem. 283, 14559-14579 (2008)].

TASK-1 and TASK-3 are also expressed in the heart [Rinné et al., J. Mol. Cell. Cardiol. 81, 71-80 (2015)]. Since TASK-1 is expressed particularly strongly in the nervous stimuli conduction system and in the atrium, this channel may have a role in disrupting stimuli conduction or triggering supraventricular arrhythmias. In the heart, TASK-1 appears to contribute to a background current which for its part contributes to maintenance of the resting potential, to action potential duration and to repolarization [Kim et al., Am. J. Physiol. 277, H1669-1678 (1999)]. Using human heart muscle cells, it was shown that blockade of the TASK-1 ion current results in a longer action potential [Limberg et al., Cell. Physiol. Biochem. 28, 613-624 (2011)]. Furthermore, for TASK-1 knock-out mice a prolonged QT time was demonstrated [Decher et al., Cell. Physiol. Biochem. 28, 77-86 (2011)]. Inhibition of TASK channels may therefore be of importance for the treatment of cardiac arrythmias, in particular atrial fibrillation.

In certain vessels, TASK channels also appear to play a role in the regulation of the vascular tone. A relevant expression of TASK-1 was noticed in smooth muscles of pulmonary and mesenteric arteries. In studies on smooth muscle cells of human pulmonary arteries, it was shown that TASK-1 plays a role in the regulation of the pulmonary vascular tone. TASK-1 may be involved in hypoxic and acidosis-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction [Tang et al., Am. J. Respir. Cell. Mol. Biol. 41, 476-483 (2009)].

In glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex, TASK-1 plays a role in potassium conductivity [Czirjak et al., Mol. Endocrinol. 14, 863-874 (2000)].

Possibly, TASK channels also play an important role in apoptosis and tumorigenesis. In breast cancer, colon cancer and lung cancer biopsies and also in metastasizing prostate cancer and in melanoma cells, TASK-3 has been found to be strongly overexpressed [Mu et al., Cancer Cell 3, 297-302 (2003); Kim et al., APMIS 112, 588-594 (2004); Pocsai et al., Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 63, 2364-2376 (2006)]. A point mutation at the TASK-3 channel, which switches off the channel function, simultaneously cancels the tumour-forming action (proliferation, tumour growth, apoptosis resistance) [Mu et al., Cancer Cell 3, 297-302 (2003)]. Overexpression of TASK-3 and TASK-1 in a murine fibroblast cell line (C8 cells) inhibits intracellular apoptosis routes [Liu et al., Brain Res. 1031, 164-173 (2005)]. Accordingly, the blockade of TASK channels may also be relevant for the treatment of various neoplastic disorders.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide novel substances which act as potent and selective blockers of TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels and, as such, are suitable in particular for the treatment and/or prevention of respiratory disorders including sleep-related respiratory disorders such as obstructive and central sleep apnoea and snoring, and also other disorders.

Preferred salts in the context of the present invention are physiologically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention. Also encompassed are salts which are not themselves suitable for pharmaceutical applications but can be used, for example, for the isolation, purification or storage of the compounds of the invention.

Physiologically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention include acid addition salts of mineral acids, carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids, for example salts of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, benzoic acid and embonic acid.

Solvates in the context of the invention are described as those forms of the compounds of the invention which form a complex in the solid or liquid state by coordination with solvent molecules. Hydrates are a specific form of the solvates in which the coordination is with water. Solvates preferred in the context of the present invention are hydrates.

The compounds of the invention may, depending on their structure, exist in different stereoisomeric forms, i.e. in the form of configurational isomers or else, if appropriate, as conformational isomers (enantiomers and/or diastereomers, including those in the case of atropisomers). The present invention therefore encompasses the enantiomers and diastereomers, and the respective mixtures thereof. The stereoisomerically homogeneous constituents can be isolated from such mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereomers in a known manner; chromatography processes are preferably employed for the purpose, especially HPLC chromatography on chiral or achiral separation phases. In the case of chiral amines as intermediates or end products, separation is alternatively also possible via diastereomeric salts using enantiomerically pure carboxylic acids.

If the compounds of the invention can occur in tautomeric forms, the present invention encompasses all the tautomeric forms.

The present invention also encompasses all suitable isotopic variants of the compounds of the invention. An isotopic variant of a compound of the invention is understood here to mean a compound in which at least one atom within the compound of the invention has been exchanged for another atom of the same atomic number, but with a different atomic mass from the atomic mass which usually or predominantly occurs in nature. Examples of isotopes which can be incorporated into a compound of the invention are those of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, such as ²H (deuterium), ³H (tritium), ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³²P, ³³P, ³³S, ³⁴S, ³⁵S, ³⁶S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁹I and ¹³¹I. Particular isotopic variants of a compound according to the invention, especially those in which one or more radioactive isotopes have been incorporated, may be beneficial, for example, for the examination of the mechanism of action or of the active ingredient distribution in the body; due to the comparatively easy preparability and detectability, especially compounds labeled with ³H or ¹⁴C isotopes are suitable for this purpose. In addition, the incorporation of isotopes, for example of deuterium, can lead to particular therapeutic benefits as a consequence of greater metabolic stability of the compound, for example an extension of the half-life in the body or a reduction in the active dose required; such modifications of the compounds of the invention may therefore possibly also constitute a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Isotopic variants of the compounds of the invention can be prepared by commonly used processes known to those skilled in the art, for example by the methods described further down and the procedures described in the working examples, by using corresponding isotopic modifications of the respective reagents and/or starting compounds.

The present invention additionally also encompasses prodrugs of the compounds of the invention. The term “prodrugs” refers here to compounds which may themselves be biologically active or inactive, but are converted while present in the body, for example by a metabolic or hydrolytic route, to compounds of the invention.

R¹²—N═C═O  (X),

-   -   -   in which R¹² has the meaning given above,         -   to give a compound of the formula (I-C)

-   -   in which A, D, R¹, R¹² and the ring Q have the meanings given         above         and the compounds of the formulae (I), (I-A), (I-B) or (I-C)         thus obtained are optionally separated into their enantiomers         and/or diastereomers and/or optionally converted with the         appropriate (i) solvents and/or (ii) acids to the solvates,         salts and/or solvates of the salts thereof.

Suitable reducing agents for the process steps [A] (II)+(III)→(I) and [B] (II)+(IV)→(V) [reductive aminations] for such purposes are customary alkali metal borohydrides such as sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride; preference is given to using sodium triacetoxyborohydride. The addition of an acid, such as acetic acid in particular, and/or of a dehydrating agent, for example molecular sieve or trimethyl orthoformate or triethyl orthoformate, may be advantageous in these reactions.

Suitable solvents for these reactions are especially alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol or isopropanol, ethers such as diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane or 1,2-dimethoxyethane, polar aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or mixtures of such solvents; preference is given to using tetrahydrofuran. The reactions are generally effected within a temperature range of 0° C. to +50° C.

The protecting group PG used in compound (IV) may be a standard amino protecting group, for example tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) or (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl (Fmoc); preference is given to using tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc). The detachment of the protecting group in process step [B] (V)→(VI) is effected by known methods. Thus, the tert-butoxycarbonyl group is typically detached by treatment with a strong acid such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or trifluoroacetic acid, in an inert solvent such as diethyl ether, 1,4-dioxane, dichloromethane or acetic acid. In the case of benzyloxycarbonyl as protecting group, this is preferably removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst such as palladium on activated carbon. The (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl group is generally detached with the aid of a secondary amine base such as diethylamine or piperidine [see, for example, T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, New York, 1999; P. J. Kocienski, Protecting Groups, 3^(rd) edition, Thieme, 2005].

Certain compounds of the formula (V), especially those in which PG is tert-butoxycarbonyl, likewise have significant inhibitory activity with respect to TASK-1 and/or TASK-3, and in this respect are also encompassed by the scope of definition of the present invention, i.e. the compounds of the formula (I).

The process step [B-1] (VI)+(VII)→(I-A) [amide formation] is conducted by known methods with the aid of a condensing or activating agent. Suitable agents of this kind are, for example, carbodiimides such as N,N′-diethyl-, N,N′-dipropyl-, N,N′-diisopropyl-, N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), phosgene derivatives such as N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) or isobutyl chloroformate, 1,2-oxazolium compounds such as 2-ethyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxazolium 3-sulfate or 2-tert-butyl-5-methylisoxazolium perchlorate, acylamino compounds such as 2-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline, α-chlorenamines such as 1-chloro-N,N,2-trimethylprop-1-en-1-amine, 1,3,5-triazine derivatives such as 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride, phosphorus compounds such as n-propanephosphonic anhydride (PPA), diethyl cyanophosphonate, diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA), bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)phosphoryl chloride, benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate or benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(pyrrolidino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), or uronium compounds such as O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU), O-(1H-1-chlorobenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TCTU), O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) or 2-(2-oxo-1-(2H)-pyridyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TPTU), optionally in combination with further auxiliaries such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) or N-hydroxysuccinimide (HOSu), and also as base an alkali metal carbonate, for example sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, or a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine (NMM), N-methylpiperidine (NMP), pyridine or 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). The condensing agent or activating agent used with preference is O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) in combination with N,N-diisopropylethylamine as base.

The alternative process via the carbonyl chloride (VIII) [(VI)+(VIII)→(I-A)] is generally effected in the presence of a base such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine (NMM), N-methylpiperidine (NMP), pyridine, 2,6-dimethylpyridine, 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU); preference is given to using triethylamine or N,N-diisopropylethylamine.

Suitable inert solvents for these amide-forming reactions are, for example, ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, pentane, hexane or cyclohexane, halohydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethylene or chlorobenzene, or polar aprotic solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, butyronitrile, pyridine, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N′-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP); it is also possible to use mixtures of such solvents. Preference is given to using dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide or mixtures of these solvents. The reactions are generally conducted within a temperature range of from −20° C. to +60° C., preferably at from 0° C. to +40° C.

The process [B-2] (VI)+(IX)→(I-B) [formation of urethanes or substituted ureas] is conducted under similar reaction conditions with regard to solvent, addition of base and temperature as described above for the amide formation [B-1] (VI)+(VIII)→(I-A).

The reaction [B-3] (VI)+(X)→(I-C) is likewise effected in one of the above-listed inert solvents or solvent mixtures at a temperature in the range from 0° C. to +60° C.; the addition of a base in this reaction can optionally be dispensed with.

The amine compound (VI) can also be also be used in the process steps [B-1] (VI)+(VII) or (VIII)→(I-A), [B-2] (VI)+(IX)→(I-B) and [B-3] (VI)+(X)→(I-C) in the form of a salt, for example as hydrochloride or trifluoroacetate. In such a case, the conversion is effected in the presence of an appropriately increased amount of the respective auxiliary base used.

Compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention may also be obtained by initially reducing the above-mentioned carbaldehyde of the formula (II)

in which A, D and R¹ have the meanings given above, with the aid of sodium borohydride to give an alcohol of the formula (XI)

in which A, D and R¹ have the meanings given above, subsequently converting this by treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a base into the corresponding mesylate of the formula (XII)

in which A, D and R¹ have the meanings given above, and then reacting the latter in the presence of a base with a compound of the formula (III)

in which R² and the ring Q have the meanings given above, to give a compound of the formula (I).

The reduction (II)→(XI) is carried out by known methods using sodium borohydride in an alcoholic solvent such as ethanol in a temperature range from 0° C. to +30° C. Subsequent conversion into the mesylate (XII) is carried out in a customary manner by treating the alcohol (XI) with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as, for example, triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine or else pyridine; the reaction is typically carried out in a chlorinated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or 1,2-dichloroethane as inert solvent in a temperature range from −20° C. to +20° C. For the subsequent reaction with the compound (III), the mesylate (XII) is preferably not isolated beforehand but employed directly as crude product in a one-pot process with addition of a dipolar-aprotic solvent. As such, preference is given to using acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide, and the reaction is generally carried out in a temperature range from 0° C. to +60° C. The reaction (XII)+(III)→(I) is likewise carried out in the presence of a base; expediently—in the case of the configuration mentioned as a one-pot reaction—, an appropriate excess of the amine base used beforehand for the preparation of the mesylate may be used for this purpose.

The compounds of the formula (II) can be prepared by a process known from the literature by condensing a compound of the formula (XIII) (XIII)

in which A has the meaning given above, under the influence of a base with a compound of the formula (XIV)

in which D and R¹ have the meanings given above and X represents a suitable leaving group, for example chlorine, bromine or iodine, to give a bicyclic system of the formula (XV)

in which A, D and R¹ have the meanings given above and then formylating this with a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride to give (II).

The condensation reaction (XIII)+(XIV)→(XV) is usually conducted in an alcoholic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol or n-butanol, in an ether such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, in a dipolar aprotic solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N′-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP), or else in water, at a temperature in the range from +50° C. to +150° C.; preference is given to using ethanol or water as solvent.

Bases suitable for this reaction are in particular alkali metal bicarbonates or carbonates such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate or lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or caesium carbonate, alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or else alumina; preference is given to using sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide. Optionally—if the reaction temperature is increased appropriately—the reaction can also be carried out without addition of a base.

The regioselective formylation (XV)-(II) is carried out under the customary conditions of a Vilsmaier-Haack reaction by treating (XV) with a pre-formed mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride which is employed in a large excess and simultaneously also serves as solvent. The reaction is generally carried out within a temperature range of from 0° C. to +100° C.

The processes described above can be conducted at atmospheric, elevated or reduced pressure (for example in the range from 0.5 to 5 bar); in general, the reactions are each carried out at atmospheric pressure.

Separation of the compounds of the invention into the corresponding enantiomers and/or diastereomers can, as appropriate, optionally also be carried out at the early stage of the compounds (III), (IV), (V) or (VI), which are then converted further in separated form in accordance with the process steps described above. Such a separation of stereoisomers can be conducted by customary methods known to the person skilled in the art. In the context of the present invention, preference is given to using chromatographic methods on chiral or achiral separation phases; in the case of chiral amines as intermediates or end products, separation can alternatively be effected via diastereomeric salts with the aid of enantiomerically pure carboxylic acids.

Some of the compounds of the formula (IV) are commercially available, or they are described as such in the literature, or they can be prepared from other commercially available compounds analogously to methods known from the literature. One such preparation is shown in an exemplary manner in Reaction Schemes 1-3 below and then in each case explained in greater detail:

Here, starting with 2,5-dihydrofuran (1), initially dialdehyde (2) was obtained by ozonolysis at −78° C. in dichloromethane as solvent, which was directly, as crude product without any further purification, taken up in water and treated with dicarboxylic acid (3) and sodium acetate. After subsequent addition of benzylamine (4) in 3 N hydrochloric acid, the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, and the bicyclic aminoketone (5) was then isolated in a yield of 16%. In an ethanol/water mixture, ketone (5) was then converted in a yield of 87% into the oxime (6) as an E/Z mixture, by reacting with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium acetate at 70°-80° C. for three hours. Reaction with sodium carbonate and tosyl chloride in an acetonitrile/water mixture at a temperature of 70°-80° C. over 15 h gave the ring-extended product, the seven-membered lactam (7), in a yield of 71%. This lactam (7) was then, by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride in THF at a temperature of 20°-30° C. and a reaction time of 16 h, converted into the bridged diamine (8), which was reacted as a crude product with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and triethylamine in dichloromethane over 5 h at 20°-30° C. The resulting doubly protected diamine (9) was, after work-up and chromatographic purification, obtained in a yield of 82%. The final hydrogenation with palladium hydroxide as catalyst in methanol at a temperature of 20°-30° C. and a hydrogen pressure of 50 Psi (about 3.45 bar) over 4 h then gave the desired target compound, the monoprotected diamine (10), in a yield of 69% after chromatographic purification.

Here, initially cyclohex-2-en-1-one (11), 4-methoxyaniline (12) and formaldehyd were reacted with one another in the presence of DL-proline in a 3-component reaction. After a reaction time of 30 h at 50° C. in DMSO as solvent, the bicyclic aminoketone (13) was obtained in racemic form with a yield of 18% [cf. L. Eriksson et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 44, 4877 (2005)]. By reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium carbonate in THF at room temperature, ketone (13) was then converted into the E/Z oxime (14), which was subsequently treated with polyphosphoric acid in toluene at 100° C. for 5 h. After work-up of the reaction, the ring-extended product, i.e. the bicyclic lactam (15), was isolated in a yield of 39%. Subsequent oxidative removal of the anisole group with the aid of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate in an acetonitrile/water mixture at room temperature afforded the aminolactam (16), which was directly, as an aqueous crude product solution, reacted further with benzyloxycarbonyl chloride (benzyl carbonochloridate) in the presence of sodium carbonate (pH 10). Chromatographic purification gave the Cbz protected derivative (17) in a total yield of 48% over the last two steps. Via reduction of the lactam (17) using borane/dimethyl sulfide complex in THF at 65° C., it was possible to obtain the amine (18), which for its part was directly reacted further as an aqueous crude product solution in the presence of sodium carbonate (pH 10) with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, giving, in a total yield of 63% over the last two steps, the doubly protected diamine (19). The racemic compound obtained in this manner was then separated into the enantiomers (19a) and (19b) (in each case with >98% ee) by SFC-HPLC on a chiral phase. Removal of the Cbz protective group by hydrogenolysis (1 bar of hydrogen, 10% palladium on carbon as catalyst) in methanol finally gave the desired target compounds, i.e. the monoprotected diamines (20a) and (20b), in enantiomerically pure form.

Here, initially the bicyclic aminoketone (21) was converted by reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and diisopropylethylamine in ethanol at a temperature of 35° C. over 2 h into the E/Z oxime (22) (yield 84%). Oxime (22) was then treated with polyphosphoric acid in toluene at 110°-120° C. for 2 h. After work-up of the reaction, the ring-extended product, i.e. the bicyclic lactam (23), was isolated in a yield of 49%. Subsequent reduction with sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminiumhydride (Red-Al®) in THF at a temperature of 50° C. for 3 h gave the diamine (24), which was subsequently converted by reaction with benzyloxycarbonyl chloride (benzyl carbonochloridate) and triethylamine in dichloromethane at 0°-10° C. into the Cbz-protected derivative (25). Reaction of compound (25) with 1-chloroethyl carbonochloridate (26) in 1,2-dichloroethane at 85° C. for 5 h, addition of methanol and further heating at 85° C. for 1 h gave the N-debenzylated compound (27). This was subsequently reacted in dichloromethane with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in the presence of triethylamine and 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine; after a reaction time of 2 h at 10° C., the doubly protected diamine (28) was isolated in a yield of 69%. The racemic compound obtained in this manner was then separated into the enantiomers (28a) and (28b) (in each case with >95.5% ee) by SFC-HPLC on a chiral phase. Removal of the Cbz protective group by hydrogenolysis (1 atm of hydrogen, 10% palladium on carbon as catalyst) in methanol finally gave the desired target compounds, i.e. the monoprotected diamines (29a) and (29b), in enantiomerically pure form.

The compounds of the formulae (III), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), (XIII) and (XIV) are either commercially available or described as such in the literature, or they can be prepared in a simple manner from other commercially available compounds by methods familiar to the person skilled in the art and known from the literature. Numerous detailed procedures and further literature references can also be found in the experimental section, in the section on the preparation of the starting compounds and intermediates.

-   -   devices for positive airway pressure ventilation, by way of         example and with preference CPAP (continuous positive airway         pressure) devices, BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure)         devices and IPPV (intermittent positive pressure ventilation)         devices;     -   neurostimulators of the Nervus hypoglossus;     -   intraoral auxiliaries, by way of example and with preference         protrusion braces;     -   nasal disposable valves;     -   nasal stents.

The present invention further provides medicaments which comprise at least one compound of the invention, typically together with one or more inert, non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients, and for the use thereof for the aforementioned purposes.

The compounds of the invention can act systemically and/or locally. For this purpose, they can be administered in a suitable manner, for example by the oral, parenteral, pulmonal, intrapulmonal (inhalative), nasal, intranasal, pharyngeal, lingual, sublingual, buccal, rectal, dermal, transdermal, conjunctival or otic route, or as an implant or stent.

The compounds of the invention can be administered in administration forms suitable for these administration routes.

Suitable administration forms for oral administration are those which work according to the prior art and release the compounds of the invention rapidly and/or in a modified manner and which contain the compounds of the invention in crystalline and/or amorphized and/or dissolved form, for example tablets (uncoated or coated tablets, for example with gastric juice-resistant or retarded-dissolution or insoluble coatings which control the release of the compound of the invention), tablets or films/oblates which disintegrate rapidly in the oral cavity, films/lyophilizates, capsules (for example hard or soft gelatin capsules), sugar-coated tablets, granules, pellets, powders, emulsions, suspensions, aerosols or solutions.

Parenteral administration can bypass an absorption step (e.g. take place intravenously, intraarterially, intracardially, intraspinally or intralumbally) or include an absorption (e.g. take place inhalatively, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intracutaneously, percutaneously or intraperitoneally). Administration forms suitable for parenteral administration include preparations for injection and infusion in the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, lyophilizates or sterile powders.

Suitable for the other administration routes are, for example, pharmaceutical forms for inhalation (including powder inhalers, nebulizers, metered aerosols), nasal drops, solutions or sprays, throat sprays, tablets for lingual, sublingual or buccal administration, films/wafers or capsules, suppositories, eye drops, eye ointments or eyewashes, ocular inserts, ear drops, sprays, powders, washes or tampons, vaginal capsules, aqueous suspensions (lotions, shaking mixtures), lipophilic suspensions, emulsions, microemulsions, ointments, creams, transdermal therapeutic systems (e.g. patches), milk, pastes, foams, dusting powders, implants or stents.

Preference is given to oral, intravenous, intranasal and pharyngeal administration.

In one embodiment, administration is by the intranasal route. In one embodiment, intranasal administration is effected with the eye of eye drops or a nasal spray. In one embodiment, intranasal administration is effected with the eye of a nasal spray.

The compounds of the invention can be converted to the administration forms mentioned. This can be done in a manner known per se, by mixing with inert, nontoxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients. These excipients include

In general, it has been found to be advantageous in the case of parenteral administration to administer amounts of active compound of about 0.001 to 1 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 0.5 mg/kg, of body weight to achieve effective results. In the case of oral administration the dosage is about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 20 mg/kg and most preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight. In the case of intrapulmonary administration, the amount of active compound is generally about 0.1 to 50 mg per inhalation.

In one embodiment, the dosage in the case of intranasal administration is about 0.1 μg to 500 μg per day. In a further embodiment, the dosage in the case of intranasal administration is about 1 μg to 250 μg per day. In a further embodiment, the dosage in the case of intranasal administration is about 1 μg to 120 μg per day. In a further embodiment, the dose of about 0.1 μg to 500 μg per day, or of about 1 μg to 250 μg per day, or of about 1 μg to 120 μg per day, is administered once daily by the intranasal route before sleeping. In one embodiment, the dose of about 0.1 μg to 500 μg per day, or of about 1 μg to 250 μg per day, or of about 1 μg to 120 μg per day, is administered once daily with half to each nostril. In one embodiment, the dose of about 0.1 μg to 500 μg per day, or of about 1 μg to 250 μg per day, or of about 1 μg to 120 μg per day, is administered once daily with half to each nostril before sleeping.

It may nevertheless be necessary in some cases to deviate from the stated amounts of active compounds, specifically as a function of body weight, route of administration, individual response to the active ingredient, nature of the preparation and time or interval over which administration takes place. Thus in some cases it may be sufficient to manage with less than the abovementioned minimum amount, while in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be exceeded. In the case of administration of greater amounts, it may be advisable to divide them into several individual doses over the day.

The working examples which follow illustrate the invention. The invention is not restricted to the examples.

Further Details:

The percentages in the example and test descriptions which follow are, unless indicated otherwise, percentages by weight; parts are parts by weight. Solvent ratios, dilution ratios and concentration data for liquid/liquid solutions are based in each case on volume.

Purity figures are generally based on corresponding peak integrations in the LC/MS chromatogram, but may additionally also have been determined with the aid of the ¹H NMR spectrum. If no purity is stated, the purity is generally >95% according to automated peak integration in the LC/MS chromatogram, or the purity has not been determined explicitly.

Stated yields in % of theory are generally corrected for purity if a purity of <100% is indicated. In solvent-containing or contaminated batches, the formal yield may be “>100%”; in these cases the yield is not corrected for solvent or purity.

In cases where the reaction products were obtained by trituration, stirring or recrystallization, it was frequently possible to isolate further amounts of product from the respective mother liquor by chromatography. However, a description of this chromatography is dispensed with hereinbelow unless a large part of the total yield could only be isolated in this step.

Melting points and melting point ranges, if stated, are uncorrected.

The descriptions of the coupling patterns of ¹H NMR signals that follow have in some cases been taken directly from the suggestions of the ACD SpecManager (ACD/Labs Release 12.00, Product version 12.5) and have not necessarily been strictly scrutinized. In some cases, the suggestions of the SpecManager were adjusted manually. Manually adjusted or assigned descriptions are generally based on the optical appearance of the signals in question and do not necessarily correspond to a strict, physically correct interpretation. In general, the stated chemical shift refers to the center of the signal in question. In the case of broad multiplets, an interval is given. Signals obscured by solvent or water were either tentatively assigned or have not been listed.

The ¹H NMR data of synthesis intermediates and working examples can also be stated in the form of ¹H NMR peak lists. Here, for each signal peak, first the δ value in ppm and then the signal intensity in round brackets are listed. The δ value/signal intensity number pairs of different signal peaks are listed separated by commas; accordingly, the peak list for a compound has the form: δ₁ (intensity₁), δ₂ (intensity), . . . , δ_(i) (intensity_(i)), . . . , δ_(n)(intensity_(n)).

The intensity of sharp signals correlates with the height of the signals (in cm) in a printed example of an NMR spectrum and shows the true ratios of the signal intensities in comparison with other signals. In the case of broad signals, several peaks or the middle of the signal and their relative intensity may be given in comparison to the most intense signal in the spectrum. The lists of the ¹H NMR peaks are similar to the conventional ¹H NMR printouts and thus usually contain all peaks listed in a conventional NMR interpretation. In addition, like classic ¹H NMR printouts, they may comprise solvent signals, signals of stereoisomers of the target compound in question, peaks of impurities, ¹³C satellite peaks and/or rotation side bands. Peaks of stereoisomers of the target compound and/or peaks of impurities usually have a lower intensity on average than the peaks of the target compound (for example with a purity of >90%). Such stereoisomers and/or impurities may be typical of the particular preparation process. Their peaks can thus help in identifying reproduction of the preparation process with reference to “by-product fingerprints”. An expert calculating the peaks of a target compound by known methods (MestreC, ACD simulation, or using empirically determined expected values) can, if required, isolate the peaks of the target compound, optionally using additional intensity filters. This isolation would be similar to the peak picking in question in conventional ¹H NMR interpretation.

A detailed description of the presentation of NMR data in the form of peak lists can be found in the publication “Citation of NMR Peaklist Data within Patent Applications” (see http://www.researchdisclosure.com/searching-disclosures, Research Disclosure Database Number 605005, 2014, 1 Aug. 2014). In the peak picking routine described in the stated Research Disclosure, the parameter “MinimumHeight” can be set between 1% and 4%. However, depending on the type of chemical structure and/or on the concentration of the compound to be analysed, it may also be advisable to set the parameter “MinimumHeight” to values of <1%.

All reactants or reagents whose preparation is not described explicitly hereinafter were purchased commercially from generally accessible sources. For all other reactants or reagents whose preparation is likewise not described hereinafter and which were not commercially obtainable or were obtained from sources which are not generally accessible, a reference is given to the published literature in which their preparation is described.

Starting Compounds and Intermediates: Example 1A 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine

Sodium bicarbonate (10.8 g, 128 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (20.0 g, 85.7 mmol) and pyrimidin-2-amine (8.96 g, 94.2 mmol) in 200 ml of ethanol, and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 5 hours. The batch was then cooled to 0° C. (ice bath). The resulting precipitate was filtered off and washed twice with an ethanol/water mixture (1:1). The solid was then dried under reduced pressure at 40° C. overnight. This gave 15.9 g (69.23 mmol, 80.8% of theory) of the target product.

LC-MS (method 2): R_(t)=1.25 min; m/z=230 (M+H)⁺.

¹H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆, δ/ppm): 7.07 (dd, 1H), 7.53 (d, 2H), 8.03 (d, 2H), 8.41 (s, 1H), 8.54 (dd, 1H), 8.97 (dd, 1H).

Example 2A 2-(4-Isopropylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine

The mixture was then concentrated to dryness. The residue was stirred with diethyl ether and the solid that remained was filtered off and dried at 40° C. under reduced pressure overnight. This gave 1.15 g of the crude target product, which was used in the subsequent reactions without further purification.

To a solution of 20 g (85.65 mmol) of 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone and 8.87 g (94.22 mmol) of pyridin-2-amine in 200 ml of ethanol were added 10.95 g (130 mmol) of sodium hydrogencarbonate, and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 5 hours. The mixture was then cooled, first to room temperature and then to 0° C. (ice bath). The resulting precipitate was filtered off and washed repeatedly with an ethanol/water mixture (2:1). The solid was then dried under reduced pressure at 40° C. overnight. This gave 19.8 g of the target product, which was used in the subsequent reactions without further purification.

Example 4A 2-(5-Chloropyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

5 g (32.14 mmol) of 1-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)ethanone, 6.96 g (73.92 mmol) of pyridin-2-amine and 9.79 g (38.56 mmol) of iodine were stirred at 120° C. for 2 h. After cooling to room temperature, 15 ml of water and 1.93 g (48 mmol) of sodium hydroxide were added and then the reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for another 1 h.

The reaction mixture was subsequently diluted with ethyl acetate and 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, the organic phase was removed and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness (LC/MS analysis was carried out at this point). The residue obtained was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase was separated off and the aqueous phase was once more extracted with ethyl acetate. Again, the combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. This gave 258 mg (100% pure, 0.93 mmol, 51% of theory) of the title compound.

Subsequently, 1.756 g (8.29 mmol) of sodium triacetoxyborohydride were added in portions, and the reaction solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. Then water was gradually and carefully added dropwise (caution: evolution of gas), and subsequently ethyl acetate was added.

The reaction solution was then stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Subsequently, the reaction solution was concentrated to dryness and the residue obtained was then taken up in 2 ml of THF, and 2-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carbaldehyde (60.0 mg, 230 μmol), 0.25 ml of dichloromethane and acetic acid (32 μl, 570 μmol) were added. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (72 mg, 340 μmol) was then added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After the addition of saturated ammonium chloride solution, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. The resulting residue was then taken up in ethyl acetate and washed with a saturated sodium carbonate solution, and the organic phase obtained was subsequently evaporated to dryness. The reaction mixture was then separated into its components directly by preparative HPLC (Method 9). The main component obtained was subsequently purified by column chromatography (silica gel; mobile phase ethyl acetate). This gave 56 mg (100% pure, 0.1 mmol, 46% of theory) of the title compound.

B. ASSESSMENT OF PHARMACOLOGICAL EFFICACY

The pharmacological activity of the compounds of the invention can be demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies as known to the person skilled in the art. The application examples which follow describe the biological action of the compounds of the invention, without restricting the invention to these examples.

B-1. In Vitro Electrophysiological Analysis of the Human TASK-1 and TASK-3 Channels Via Two-Electrode Voltage Clamp Technique in Xenopus laevis Oocytes

Xenopus laevis oocytes were selected as described elsewhere by way of illustration [Decher et al., FEBS Lett. 492, 84-89 (2001)]. Subsequently, the oocytes were injected with 0.5-5 ng of a cRNA solution coding for TASK-1 or TASK-3. For the electrophysiological analysis of the channel proteins expressed in the oocytes, the two-electrode voltage clamp technique [Stühmer, Methods Enzymol. 207, 319-339 (1992)] was used. The measurements were conducted as described [Decher et al., FEBS Lett. 492, 84-89 (2001)] at room temperature (21-22° C.) using a Turbo TEC 10CD amplifier (NPI), recorded at 2 kHz and filtered with 0.4 kHz. Substance administration was performed using a gravitation-driven perfusion system. Here, the oocyte is located in a measuring chamber and exposed to the solvent stream of 10 ml/min. The level in the measuring chamber is monitored and regulated by sucking off the solution using a peristaltic pump.

Table 1 below shows the half-maximum inhibition, determined in this test, of the human TASK-1 channel (IC₅₀) by representative working examples of the invention:

TABLE 1 Example TASK-1 TASK-3 No. IC₅₀ [nM] IC₅₀ [nM] 11 11.4 ± 2.2 4.8 ± 0.4 12 17.6 ± 2.2  13 ± 0.9 13 40.3 ± 3.4 23.5 ± 5.9 14 20.6 ± 3.1 17.3 ± 1.6 15 7.54 ± 1.4 15.5 ± 1.5 93 35.1 ± 3.5 41.8 ± 8.0

From the data in Table 1 it is evident that the human TASK-3 channel is blocked by compounds of the present invention.

B-2. Inhibition of Recombinant TASK-1 and TASK-3 In Vitro

The investigations on the inhibition of the recombinant TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels were conducted using stably transfected CHO cells. The compounds of the invention were tested here with administration of 40 mM of potassium chloride in the presence of a voltage-sensitive dye using the method described in detail in the following references [Whiteaker et al., Validation of FLIPR membrane potential dye for high-throughput screening of potassium channel modulators, J. Biomol. Screen. 6 (5), 305-312 (2001); Molecular Devices FLIPR Application Note: Measuring membrane potential using the FLIPR® membrane potential assay kit on Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR®) systems, http://www.moleculardevices.com/reagents-supplies/assay-kits/ion-channels/flipr-membrane-potential-assay-kits]. The activity of the test substances was determined as their ability to inhibit a depolarization induced in the recombinant cells by 40 mM potassium chloride. The concentration which can block half of this depolarization is referred to as IC₅₀.

Table 2 below lists the IC₅₀ values from this assay determined for individual working examples of the invention (some as mean values from multiple independent individual determinations):

From the data in Table 2 it is evident that both TASK-1 and in particular TASK-3 are blocked. The results in Table 2 thus confirm the mechanism of action of the compounds according to the invention as dual TASK-1/3 inhibitors.

B-3. Animal Model of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in the Pig

Using negative pressure, it is possible to induce collapse and thus obstruction of the upper respiratory tract in anaesthetized, spontaneously breathing pigs [Wirth et al., Sleep 36, 699-708 (2013)].

German Landrace pigs are used for the model. The pigs are anaesthetized and tracheotomized. One cannula each is inserted into the rostral and the caudal part of the trachea. Using a T connector, the rostral cannula is connected on the one hand to a device generating negative pressures and on the other hand to the caudal cannula. Using a T connector, the caudal cannula is connected to the rostral cannula and to a tube which allows spontaneous breathing circumventing the upper respiratory tract. By appropriate closing and opening of the tubes it is thus possible for the pig to change from normal nasal breathing to breathing via the caudal cannula during the time when the upper respiratory tract is isolated and connected to the device for generating negative pressures. The muscle activity of the Musculus genioglossus is recorded by electromyogram (EMG).

At certain points in time, the collapsibility of the upper respiratory tract is tested by having the pig breathe via the caudal cannula and applying negative pressures of −50, −100 and −150 cm water head (cm H₂O) to the upper respiratory tract. This causes the upper respiratory tract to collapse, which manifests itself in an interruption of the airflow and a pressure drop in the tube system. This test is conducted prior to the administration of the test substance and at certain intervals after the administration of the test substance. An appropriately effective test substance can prevent this collapse of the respiratory tract in the inspiratory phase.

After changeover from nasal breathing to breathing via the caudal cannula, it is not possible to measure any EMG activity of the Musculus genioglossus in the anaesthetized pig. As a further test, the negative pressure at which EMG activity restarts is then determined. This threshold value is, if a test substance is effective, shifted to more positive values. The test is likewise conducted prior to the administration of the test substance and at certain intervals after the administration of the test substance. Administration of the test substance can be intranasal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal or intragastral.
